Very Nice!

Okja (2017)

Was okay. Thought that characterisation and logic were secondary to plot. The real star of the film was Okja, IMHO. May actually look quite good on the big screen.

Dunkirk (2017)

The cinematography is very nice and it looks fabulous in IMAX. But I didn't enjoy it and I wasn't engaged.

Our Time Will Come 明月几时有 (2017)

Poignant and made me cry. But!!!!! Why must it be in 100% Mandarin!! Curse you!!! To the powers that be that dictate that Chinese films screened in Singapore cannot be in dialects. :(

On a separate note, the actors were all very good. And this is a film that not all may embrace because the pace and plot refuses to follow that typical mainstream path. IMHO.

War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Not too bad. Pretty much by the numbers for a well-made structured film, though not sure if is memorable. Time will tell. May have been tired and struggled to keep awake during the first half.

The Villainess (2017)

Not too bad. Plot has lost of holes and logic does go out the window sometimes. Editing feels a little confusing at parts - not sure when it's a flashback and when it's not. Action sequences has a strong dynamic feel to it. Lost of blood. Not for the faint hearted. Liked the bit where they fought with katanas while on motorbikes. Some may like. Not everyone will, IMHO.

Bad Genius (2017)

Not too bad. Cast has chemistry, IMHO.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

IMHO, has one of the best post-credits sequences ever.

That said, thought this was good but not exceptional. I was  actually more captivated by The Vulture and Michael Keaton stole the show for me.

Didn't think the 3D added much. Didn't mind the IMAX though.
